MobiLink Arbiter Server utility for Windows (mlarbiter)

The MobiLink arbiter server ensures that only a single MobiLink server in a server farm is running as the primary server.
This prevents redundant notifications in a server-initiated synchronization environment and preserves messages in a QAnywhere
messaging environment.

The mlarbiter command is used to start the MobiLink arbiter server. This command is used in conjunction with the MobiLink
server -ca option, which provides the MobiLink server with the host name of the arbiter.

If the MobiLink server is not able make a connection to the arbiter after the arbiter started, the MobiLink server tries to
establish the connection every 15 seconds, and displays periodic error messages.

If the arbiter connection is dropped after the MobiLink servers in the server farm elected a primary server, the primary server
shuts down immediately and the secondary servers try to re-establish the arbiter connection every 15 seconds. After a connection
to the arbiter is established, the MobiLink servers re-elect a primary server.

Start the MobiLink arbiter on a computer with the following command line.

mlarbiter

Start the MobiLink servers with a command line similar to the following. The MobiLink servers can be started on the same computer
as the arbiter, or on different computers.

mlsrv12 -cparameter1-lscparameter2-caHost_1-notifier

In the above example, parameter1 is the consolidated database connection parameter and parameter2 is the local MobiLink server connection parameter. All the MobiLink servers in the same server farm must contain the same
setting for the -ca option.
